Abortion. Should It Be Legal Up to 6 Months? 9 Months? For Any Reason?

Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, how many people think abortion should be legal, for any reason, up to 6 months? Up to 9 months?

Did you know that in seven US states (Alaska, Colorado, DC, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Oregon) a baby can be aborted, for ANY reason, up to nine months -- up to the day it is born, then dismembered and its body parts sold to the highest bidder?

Did you know that in 21 US states, a baby can be aborted up to six months, or the date it is viable to survive OUTSIDE the womb?

Did you know that Roe vs Wade was only intended to legalize abortion in the FIRST trimester, not after 12 weeks? Over 4 million babies have been aborted in the second and third trimesters.

Did you know that in New York City, 50% of all black babies are aborted? Did you know that the American black population is actually aborting itself and being replaced by a foreign black population? Did you know that fetal body parts and organs of 6-9 month fetuses are sold for profit by Planned Parenthood, for $200-$1,000 a piece, without the consent of the mother? Did you know that planned Parenthood does no prenatal counseling, no mammograms and offers no ultrasounds or any counseling alternatives, other than abortion, contrary to their propaganda?

Was this what we all envisioned when Roe vs Wade made abortion legal in 1973? It wasn't what I envisioned. In a 7-2 decision, in Roe vs Wade, the court held that a woman's right to an abortion was protected by her right to privacy under the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision allowed a woman to decide whether to keep or abort the fetus/unborn child during the FIRST trimester. Every year, 55,000 babies are aborted after the first trimester...clearly not the intent of decision in 1973.

Ladies, what does killing a viable baby have to do with "my body, my choice"? Surely we've evolved in the past 45 years. A newly released Marist poll finds that 76 percent of Americans favor restricting abortion to – at most – the first three months of pregnancy. Can we have a rational debate about this from a humanitarian, scientific and economic perspective without playing politics? Thoughts?
